Method:

1. Cook the noodles in a pan of boiling water until just tender, then drain well and set aside.

2. Heat half the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the spring onions, stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the noodles, lime juice and soy sauce and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and keep warm.

3. Heat the remaining oil in the wok or pan. Add the garlic, chicken, prawns and squid. Stir-fry over a high heat until cooked.

4. Stir in the yellow bean paste, fish sauce and sugar, then break the eggs into the mixture, stirring gently until they set.

5. Add the noodles, toss lightly to mix, and heat through. Serve garnished with coriander leaves.

Cook's Tip: Be careful not to overcook the prawns (shrimp). If they turn pink before the chicken and squid are cooked, remove them from the wok or pan.
